DIY 3D Aquarium background part 1

[@salvadorvelasquez8204]

Hey Boss, just tunned in on your videos and I have made respect for your build of the scape so wicked awesome 😎👍

[@Bearskimethod]

Salvador Velasquez welcome, thank you joining,. The 3D background is bit of work, but it looks and functions amazingly... totally worth it... 👍🏻

[@salvadorvelasquez8204]

@@Bearskimethod I'm in works of the scape for a new Discuss tank about 75gal, 🤔, yet still working on ideas😲

[@Bearskimethod]

Salvador Velasquez ahh discus ❤️ I have had them before and love everything about them.. if you choose the 3D rout, you can choose different materials and such, I use Flagg stone in the smaller tank, but with a larger set up it’s worth building it from scratch as the maintenance gets easier and minimal... please check this video for some helpful tips.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3zFdK2FbtWnfZo

[@opsman443]

What type of foam board did you use?

[@Bearskimethod]

Pink insulation

[@simonediamante7556]

Can i use that pink material on crested gecko terrarium?

[@Bearskimethod]

Yup

[@AQUARIUMFREAK123]

i am also making my own AQUARIUM BACK GROUNDS... mine will trap gallons of water that will not circulate and will stagnate... QUESTION.. will the stagnated trapped water be a problem that must be syphoned out periodically or is it actually beneficial for biological means...

[@Bearskimethod]

Stagnant water is dangerous so try and keep it at a flow.. even wavemaker helps

[@StyleMasterSteve]

What did you use to add color?

[@Bearskimethod]

Acrylic paint

[@COOPERSCICHILDS]

Great job I love that oscar tank

[@jacobhenry4535]

Is that the foam that is sold as insulation foam?

[@Bearskimethod]

Yup

[@Whitedogoverland]

I feel that pain. Also broke my back about a year ago, but kept on building 👍🏻

[@Mishanio]

What glue do you use when working?

[@Bearskimethod]

Silicone

[@philthytanks4952]

Lol ur cat is like “what is this thing?!”

[@Bearskimethod]

Philthy Tanks lol he is always in the mix, he thinks he is a dog too.. 😂😂😂

[@Aquatic_Amigo]

The screws are goin to rust?

[@Bearskimethod]

Dope Aquariums nah, they get covered up in cement and then sealed in several coats of grout/stone sealer.. 😉 Can’t even tell where they were installed.. 👍🏻

[@watercolorarttirthashankar2094]

outstanding 3D background!!!! i love your cat.....so cute!!!!!

[@Bearskimethod]

WatercolorArt TIRTHA SHANKAR DAS thank you very much, 3D really completes the tank. Btw.. I love that lil satan - Bengal mix 😈 he’s my mouse catching ninja.. 😍

[@matthewglover1784]

Hey I created my own background using the same method as you. Yet I've got a huge spike of ammonia. My pH is fine. But the ammonia is off the charts. No fish tank is empty just water and a background. How did yours hold up.

[@Bearskimethod]

Matt Glover no issues,. Did you remember to seal it with stone/grout sealer like 4 coats.. ?

[@matthewglover1784]

@@Bearskimethod I did. I used the method you did with the same products. I think the sand dried out and it grew a bacteria while I took a couple weeks to make it. So that seems to be the issue now. I drained and removed the sand. Currently just the background in the tank. I did a water change last night and I'm waiting to see what my levels are.

[@Bearskimethod]

Matt Glover you got this broski 💪🏻

[@lizzw4216]

Was your cat standing on the knife? 😂 watch out

[@bailey2913]

You should study your husbandry more and keep your fish more appropriately, that Oscar is not a happy fish, it’s probably dead by now though!

[@Bearskimethod]

😂 Ok then You should just refrain from commenting next time with out taking the time to learn more..

[@jeffnordengren3797]

Why not put the foam up on a table so you don’t need to bend down so much?

[@Bearskimethod]

Jeff Nordengren it keeps shifting too much, I needed to apply my weight to stabilize it.. I know,. work smarter not harder 😈
